Many Calculators or Computers Cannot Directly Calculate 70 ! or Higher

question 131

Multiple Choice

Many calculators or computers cannot directly calculate 70 ! or higher. When $\mathrm { n }$ is large, $\mathrm { n }$ ! can be approximated by $n ! = 10 \mathrm {~K}$ , where $\mathrm { K } = ( \mathrm { n } + 0.5 ) \log \mathrm { n } + 0.39908993 - 0.43429448 \mathrm { n }$ .
Evaluate 95 ! using the approximation given above.

• A) \(1.059 \times 10 ^ { 147 }\)
• B) \(1.032 \times 10 ^ { 148 }\)
• C) \(1.087 \times 10 ^ { 394 }\)
• D) \(1.480 \times 10 ^ { 2 }\)
